Description

Fredericton has many groups and organizations providing valuable services to newcomers, The Local Immigration Partnership of Fredericton (LIPF) purpose is to work with all to identify all of the available services and to coordinate them to make sure the community and our newcomers are aware of them, as well figure out any gaps and find a way to fill them!

Communities across Canada are recognizing the importance of newcomers, and are making immigration a main component of their plans for the future, both at the provincial/territorial level, and increasingly at the municipal level.

Local Immigration Partnerships represent a new form of multi-level governance involving municipal, provincial and federal partners. The long-term vision for LIPs is to support the development of multi-sectoral partnership at the local community level to:

What is the Local Immigration Partnership of Fredericton (LIPF)? / Qu’est-ce que le Partenariat local d’immigration de Fredericton?In 2013, a community meeting unanimously supported the pursuit of a Local Immigration Partnership application to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada. Ignite Fredericton was subsequently tasked with the preparation of the application and lead the initiative to form the Local Immigration Partnership of Fredericton (LIPF).

As part of the process, a council has been created whose main tasks are to make decisions on the direction of the LIP, develop a strategic plan through a consultant based on local research, and finally, to encourage the implementation of this strategy/plan in the community.
